I have a question regarding the Scythe. How is the asymmetrical shape and offset center of mass compensated for when maneuvering?asked by Zabulon

So the neat thing about our physics system is we actually take that kind of thing into account. So basically the simplest answer to that is some of the engines, particularly the maneuvering jets, have to work harder than others. Because the physics system does compensate for things like missing thrusters if something gets shot and it's damaged. But it also then would be able to handle the off-center.

Right, it'd be configured to handle that, so to speak.

I mean, it's a complicated physics equation. That's basically what it comes down to at that point.
